Afghanistan is \u201cnot a hopeless crisis,\u201d Edem Wosornu of the UN humanitarian affairs office, OCHA, told journalists in New York, following a recent visit to the country, Pakistan and war-wracked Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Wosornu was part of an all-woman delegation in Afghanistan, where the climate crisis has caused widespread water scarcity, generating new food, health, and nutrition needs. Overall, 23 million people rely on humanitarian assistance \u2013 five times more than in 2019, and over 15 million now face high levels of food insecurity. Recent deadly floods in central and northern regions have added to the suffering.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Wosornu said restrictions imposed by the de facto Taliban authorities on Afghan women aid workers have added a layer of complexity to humanitarian operations in Afghanistan. Relatedly, some 1.4 million women and adolescent girls are still under an education ban. \u201cWhile delivering humanitarian assistance, our courageous Afghan female colleagues face many challenges and assume personal risks every day to and from work,\u201d she said. Meanwhile, humanitarian partners continue to negotiate with Taliban authorities on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Wosornu also raised the clampdown in talks with various senior officials, including the Taliban\u2019s economic and foreign ministers, during her four-day visit. \u201cIt was a constant part of my messaging: Afghan women need to work, and it is essential,\u201d she said. Asked about the education ban, she said the de facto authorities repeated the message that they need time, to which she responded, \u201cwe don&#8217;t have time because the numbers speak for themselves\u201d. \u201cI was also very clear that the more we wait, the more millions of children will be affected and the more it will impact the society,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also reported that some members of the \u201cde facto authority community\u2026were turning a blind eye to some of the activities that we were doing\u201d. In some provinces, the UN humanitarians were allowed to move freely. \u201cSo, there is hope to continue pushing. And the message, as I said before, at all levels was you need to lift these restrictions because we need to do our job in the education sector and the health sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/05\/1150161\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/05\/1150161\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/afghanistan-is-not-a-hopeless-crisis-top-un-aid-official-says\/\">Afghanistan is \u2018not a hopeless crisis\u2019, top UN aid official says<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1045,5322,402,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-130698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-afghanistan","tag-situation","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130698\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
